Dynamic and offline preparation of premium video content to be streamed using HTTP and protected with Adobe Access helps simplify workflows and lower storage costs for secure delivery of video to multiple screens. Also available today, the Adobe Access library for Apple iOS allows premium video developers to build the same trusted Adobe DRM capability they use for their desktop apps directly into their apps for distribution on Apple’s App Store.

2 Responses to Adobe Media Server 5 Professional and Adobe Access 4 Now Available

So, Jens, am I understanding correctly that AMS will eventually be supported on a Windows platform but not for several more months? I use FMS 3.5 now and was thinking I would have to migrate to Wowza as Linux isn’t a realistic option for me.

Adobe is now shipping Media Server 5 under the FLP licensing program on Linux only. In the fall we will be shipping for Windows under the TLP and CLP licensing programs as well as on Adobe store. The primary benefit of v5 is support for Adobe Access and content protection for iOS.. Adobe plans on continuing to sell FMS v4.5 (Win and Lnx) until we release v5 for Windows in the fall.

For those customers who need to install on windows and looking to stream immediately to iOS, we recommend contacting your Adobe reseller and purchase a license of FMS 4.5 under the TLP or CLP licensing program. You will receive a free upgrade to v5 when we ship in the fall as part of our post announce policy.
